Your company (Multi-media production Group) has been hired by the local Science Museum to help with a new exhibit:

The History of Motion and Forces

Aristole, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Einstien and Hawkings

Your Group has been assigned to collaborate on the project which explains how a scientist has played a significant role in our understand of motion. Your group's goal is to create a collaborative display (GoogleProject, Wikispace, Movie or TriFold Poster) that will portray who this person was and what impact his science has had on us. Specifically you should include:

  • Title - Name, Years of Life
  • General Info:
    • Where born and child/family life
    • Schooling
    • Job/Work/Major discoveries or thoughts
    • Personal Life
    • Where/When died and buried
    • What happened to his Work? (Was it accepted then? Now?)
    • Honors or Dishonors
  • Motion Info:
    • Specific Work with Motion and Forces
    • Explain Experiment and Thoughts
    • How it applies to TODAY
Each slide or page should include a relevant photograph.
Your group must work quickly since the rough draft is due in 3 days. Divide the 11 pages up between group members with one member being the editor of the project.
